0. Brock, N. 1). Clark, Wm. Jones and 
T. C. Robinson a committee on reyo- 
lutions. 

The following resolutions were 
unanimously adopted: 

1. That the present prices pre- 
vailing ai*e fully realized to be en- 
tirely inadeijuate for the tobacco of 
the present year and that the farm- 
ers and tenants are confronted with 
a very serious condition. 

2. That the growers of Clark 
county have been and at this time are 
in hearty sympathy with any move- 
ment or organization which' will tend 
to the jwocuring of equitable and fail- 
prices for this and future tobacco 
croi)s.

time they would locate the factory

Secret Processes and Ingenious 
Frauds Make Pictures for Million- 
aire Market. 

PARIS, Dec. 29. — Secret processes 
and ingenious frauds are used by cer- 
tain .so-called “reputable” picture' 
dealers in Euro|ie to manufacture 
spurious “old masters” for the Amer- 
ican millionaire market, according to 
Henry W. Pike, an American picture 
e.xpert. 

The frauds, which are almo.st im- 
possible to detect, involve not only the 
paintings themselves, but the inven- 
tion of interesting stories to accom- 
pan\’ the “masterpiece.s” to excite the 
imagination of the clients, and the 
printing of fac similes of ancient 
sale cataolgues with descriptions of 
the spurious pictures inserted. 

“I can well believe the us.sertion of 
the artLst, Wm. Chase,” said Mr. I'ike. 
“that there are .i0,000 .spurious Corot- 
in America. The Aulby-Hamilton 
Paine scandal is only one of hundied.' 
which might arise if other wealthy 
Americans engaged experts to inspect 
their private galleries. So long as 
they demand ma.s-tcrs the dealers will 
provide them. 

“It re<iuires only six months to pro- 
duce a painting which it is impos- 
sible for any one except a deep stu- 
dent of classic art to distinguish from 
one that is genuine.”

Benton announced that it wq|ild have

urday Mr. E. S. Jouett. the plaintiff,

timony and Mr. John G. White was

His Life Was Despaired Df by Spec- 1 
tators as He Battled With Fifty-! 
Mile Gale. | 

NEW ()RLE.^VNS, Dec. 31.— The! 
sudden approarti Tliursiiay afteruoi'm 
of the gulf hurricane forecast by t'jc 
weather hurenu found Aviator John I 
B. Moissaiit 4000 feet above tilie earth | 
in the thick of the lowering clouds, | 
and for ten minutes he battled! 
I against a 50-mile wind. His life was' 
despaiiTd of by s|K?ctators at tiiej 
City Park field. When he lainlcd he 
was lifted from his Bleriot mono- 
plane almost e.xliausted. 

The anemometer on top of the 
grandstand showed the wind to be 42 
miles an hour, while the scurrying 
clouds, which at times obscured Mois- 
sant. .showed that the velocity was 
much greater in the higher altitudes. 

Makes 100 Miles an Hour. 

Mois.sant, flying with the wind, 
made, according to estimates, not less 
than 100 miles an hour, but when fac- 
ing ‘the gale his maWiiue at times 
stood still. 

He was gauged by tlie corner of the 
gnand .stand at one time, and for a 
period of three minutes the machiiu 
was stationary It was feared at this 
lime that Moissaiit would not be abb 
to reach the aviation field at all, a^ 
the black clouds in the soiithwe.sl 
showed plainly that higher winds were 
exi)ccted shortly. 

After being in the air 21 minutes. 



40 1-5 seconds, Moissant took ad- 
vantage of a lull and pointed the 
nose of his nuK-hine downward. The 
wuul made a rajiid descent impossi- 
ble.* The landing was easy and grace- 
ful, however, and the aviators lifted 
the iiiterpid .Moissant bodily from his 
machine, congratulating him on “the 
most wonderful flight ever made in 
the liL--tory of aviation.’’ 

“It was pretty brisk up there,” re- 
marked .Moissant. “I believe I could 
have ridden that wind to a higher al- 
titude, but I don't know how I would 
have descended. Anyway, it’s the 
most terrific wind 1 ever rode.” 

And the aviators and officials j 
agreed that no airman had ever be- 
fore dared such a gale in a fragile 
50 horsepower Bleriot monoplane.

Govenor of Canal Zone Feels It His 
Duty to Board Every Vessel and 
I Read Rhymed Welcome. 

MASHINGTON, Dec, 31. — Meiii- 
I her> of the house aiipropriations 
! I'oiumittec, who arc charged w^tli the 
duty of rccoJiimeiuling appropriations 
for the construction of the Panama 
canal, Thursday received copies of a 
circular letter from the Isthmus of 
Panama, urging that something he 
done to make .Maurice H. Thatcher, 
the govenior of the Canal Zone, stop 
writing |)octry. A note accompanying^ 
the circular states that copies of it 
have also been sent to President Taft 
and other Iiigli oflieials of tlie gov- 
ernment in Washington. 

“It is not,” say.s the circular letter, 
“that we wlio are helping to dig the 
canal have any objection to real 
poetry. Quite the contrary, but Gov. 
Thatcher’s poetry is objectionable 
from every point of view, despite 
wliicli he feels it liis duty to board in- 
coming steamsips and reaii a rhymed 
adilress ot welcome to whoever liap- 
(KJiis to be the most distinguished vis- 
itor on hoard. 

“He did this in the case of the late 
President Moiitt of Chile, and the

Grand Jury of New York Takes an 
Hour to Investigate Affairs of Jos. 
G. Robin. 

NEW YORK, Dec. 30. — It took the 
grand jury just an hour Tliursday to 
indict Jos. G. Robin of the charge ol 
larceny of .$90,000 from the Washing- 
ton Savings bank, of which he wa.s 
president. The bank pa.ssed into the 
liands of the stu'te banking depart- 
ment Thursday, there to keep com- 
pany with the Bank of Northern New 
York, of whose executive committee 
Robin was cliairmaii, and with which 
Ids name has hitherto been more 
prominently connected. 

The district attorney explained 
that out of the mass of, evidence 
drawn from the records of both in- 
stitutions he had cho.se nthe charge 
that he thought could be presented 
most simply to the jury. Robin was 
immediately placed under arrest at 
the home of his .sister, Dr. Louise 
Rohinovitcli, but arraignment was 
postponed until Friday, wCieii he must 
give bail in the sum of $25,000 or go 
to jail, pending either trial or deter- 
niination of his saiiitj’. 

Technically Robin is in.sane now. 
The order of commitment, signed by 
Justice Amend, at tlie request of Dr. 
Robinovitch, and on the certification 
of three other pliysicians, still stands 
altlioiigli the private sanitarium to 
which Robin was taken refused to re- 
ceive him.

An viMleiMndent 4towspaper. 



Ta overcome the well-grounded and reasonable objections of 
the more intelHgcrtt to the use of secret, medicinal compounds, 
Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., some time ago, decided to 
make a bold departure from the usual course pursued by the 
makers of put-up medicines for domestic use, and so has pub-

lished broad-cast and openly to the whole world, a full and 

complete list of all the ingredients entering into the composition of his widely 

celebrated medicines. 

Thus I>r. Pierce has taken his numerous patrons and patients 
into his fiili confidence. Thus too he has removed his med» 
ieines from amon^ secret nostrums of doubtfui merits and 
<• ptaeed them in a class aii by themselves by making them 
remedies OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. By this bold step Dr. 
Pierce has shown that his formulas are of such excellence 
that he is not afraid to sub/ect them to the fullest scrutiny. 

From this little bo k it will be learned that Dr# 
Pierce’s medicines contain no alcohol, narcot* 
ics, mineral agents or other poisonous or injurious 
agents and that they are made from native, medi- 
cinal roots of great value; also that some of the 
most valuable ingredients contained in Dr. Pierce’s 
Favorite Prescription for weak, nervous, over- 
worked, “run-down,’ ’ ner\ous and debilitated wom- 
,en, were employed, long years ago, by the Indians

Mr. John D. Wakefield is a political 
■writer of rare ability. His estimates 
of mep are usually correct. At the 
meeting of the Kentucky Press asso- 
ciation, held at Middlesboro last June 
he read a paper on “Making States - 
men,” from which we give an extract 
“For the most part, statesmen at 
long range become politicians at close 
range. Speaking for myself, I never 
knew but four national figures who 
lM*came bigger, broader and more re- 
markable the better I became ac- 
quainted with them. These four are 
Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Watter- 
son, W. J. Bryan and the late Senator 
Arthur Pne Gorman of Maryland. 
Once while waiting at tke White 
House with a party of Kcntucki.'ius 
w'ho were going to be introduced to 
the President by a senator, I heard 
Mr. Roosevelt \dien pressed by an 
entire congressional delegation of a 
big state for a reason why he could 
not. 

appoint the choice of the delegation 
and the state organization to a higl 
federal office, declare,: “I will not ap- 
point your man. That settles it, and 
if you must have my rejisons, I shall 
give them to you. In the first place, 
he’s dishonest ; in the second place, he 
is lazy, and, in the third place, be is a 
drunkard. I refuse to make the ap- 
]ioin(ment even at the iu-sistence of 
such friends us yourselves,’’ or words 
to that effect. 'Roosevelt became a 
bij^er man in my mind then than be 
ever appeared before. 

“In 1900, as tlie cori'espondent of 
the Courier-Jonrnal, I accompanied 
Mr. Bryan in his camjniign through 
Indiana and Ohio. Although I had 

traveled with him before and since 

« 

with Roosevelt, Tuft and others, I 
never si»w such crowd.s as greeted 
him then. At many points one could 
not .see *the edges of the crowds. In 
one day Mr. Bryan, beginning at 5;30 
a. >m. and finishing at 11:30 p. m., 
made forty-odd speeches. Every one 
of them was different from every oth- 
er one. In addition he dictated sev- 
eral hundred letters and two maga- 
zine articles. Tlhrougb it all he had 
aometbing pleasant to say to every 
one cm his train and called every man 
by bis first name who came aboard 
the train. At half the stops Mr.

EDITiS TALK - : 
ON LIVE TOPICS 



Kentucky Press Association Closes 
Interesting Two Days’ Session at 
•Louisville. 

LOnsVILirE, Dec. 30.— The an- 
nual mid- winter meeting of the Ken- 
tucky Pfess association closed Thurs- 
day afternoon, after a session lasting 



two days, in which live topics of in- ' 
terest to every citizen of the state; 
were discus.sed. By a unanimous; 
vote of the as.'.ociation. the editors in' 
attendance at the” meeting, ilecided ! 
immediately to begin to give effect to! 
the suggestions received from the; 
[ speakers. 

The nuestion of tax revision wa^: 
handled by .Arthur Y. Ford, treasurer' 
of the ('olumbia Trust company. who| 
has sjient several years of practical: 
study of the system in vogue in Ken- ' 
lucky. 

The'ednca'tional condition.s prevail-! 
ing in Kentucky at the present timej 



were discussed by Judge Henry S. 
Barker, who retire:^ 3s chief justice 
of the court of ap|>eals Saturday to 
assume the presidency of the State 
University at Lexington. Judge 
Barker’s sj>eech was a feature of the 
convention. 

Mrs. John B. Castlein:m. Mrs. Jas. 
X. I.eeidi, president of the Kentucky 
Federation of Women’s clubs, and 
Mrs. Hias. P. Weaver also s(Hike o.i 
educational topics. 

Other s|K*echcs made during ihe day 
were by Samuel J. Roberts, editor of 
the Lexington Leader, who di.scussed 
“.A New Form of Ua>h Book;” John 
J. Berry, of the Paducah News-Dem- 
ocr.-it, on “What Is News.” and R. D. 
Kelley of Hawesrille on “The One- 
man Office.” 

Mr. Roberts has devised a new form 
of loose-leaf ca-li Intuk. a book which 
includes a detachable leaf for every 
day in the month, and which carries 
space and designation for every cent 
of the daily receipts and expenditures 
in the office. In the book he has in- 
cluded five divisions fof, the five 
classes of receipts, but this number, 
of course, may be varied with the 
needs of different offices. The total 
receipt- for each day arc enle.red, and 
the receipts of the 
I carried forward. The book is especi- 
ally designed to obviate ledger post- 
ing, and in addition, bears so much 
information that the exact status ’of 
the business may be detorrained by 
the simplest of procossces. 

.A motion was offered by R. W. 
Brown that a telegram of sympathy 
and good cheer be sent to A. D. Mil- 
ler of Itichmond, president of the as- 
sociation, who has ilieen detainc dat 
home ilhrongh illnes.s. It was unani- 
mously dccidctl fo scml the telegram. 

At 12:30 o’clock luncheon was 
served ill llic rathskeller, an especial- 
ly. Widl selected and delicious menu 
liaviu • ln‘cn arranged. The delegates 
! to bill'll tin' Kcntiickv Pre'ss associa- 
tion and Good Roads conventions 
took luncheon together. 

The meeting came to a r^»se late 
Thursday aflcrnooii, following a 
roundtable discussion on “Business 
Building.’’ condiicled by M. F. ('oii- 
l(*y of the Louisji News. This discus- 
sion was jiarlicijiafcd in by a dozen 
or more of the editors, who wicre able 
to remain over in Louisville until 
later in the evening or until Friday 
morning. 

Jii-t before the adjournment Ryland 
U. Musick of the Jackson Times is- 
1 sued an invitation to the asspfinlion 
1 to liohl its summer incoling in the 
Breathitt county capital. The invita- 
; fion was filed and will be submitted 
to the executive committee at its 
; next meeting, as the selection of th<? 
! next mcctjng place rests with this 
I committee.

“THE BLUE MOUSE.” 

Caught in Germany, “The ^Bliie 
Mouse,” a mischievous but harmless 
creature, has been imported to this 
country by Clyde Fitch, who in the 
importing jirocess, has con-trncted 
what is said to be the most laugh- 
able farce comedy ever produced. 
“The Blue Mouse,’’ which comes *o 
the Winchester opera house on Jan. 
4, is an Adaptation from the Ger- 
man. Ill its native land it ran for 
over a year and is still tickling tlie 
risibilities of the emperor’s own. 
France is a-llutter over the convuls- 
ing novelty. The Swedes are shaking 
their tluxeu locks ox’er the doings of 



SCENE FROM “THE BLUE MOUSE.’ 

I the “Mouse.” Even Denmark is be-J 
ling amused. It remained for Clyde 
Fitch to capture, then acclimate the ^ 
rodent, throw it a bit of cheese and j 
ask New York to nibble with it. The ; 
fir>t nibbling took place at the Lyric ; 
theater, where thousands nibbled for! 
over a year. A scream went up wliicli i 
extended from ocean to cicean. 

Mice do multiply, so Mr. E. J. Car- ^ 
penter captured charming little Ger- 1 
trude Hitz, told her to get a.s many | 
fine clothes as >lie could comfortably i 
we.-VA during the i>eriod of three act-, | 
and .said, “Tag — you’re ‘The Blue | 
Mouse.’ ” But elothes do not make ; 
the part of “The Blue Mou.se.” fori 
Clyde Mtch in creating the character 



J of Paulette Divine,' a;i actre.ss who 
irears the rodent’s name, has given the 
stage a wholly new type. However, 

I in the play .Miss Hitz is not called 
upon to dance. .«o tliat her c'lothe.s are 
ijiiite appropriate, although an insight 
'into wfiiat she could do is had, when 
t during the auction of her furniture 
and jicrsonal effects (which takes 
^ place dining the second act) she of- 
I fers for sale to an old ;rentleman a 
few yards of beads which “was my 
dancing costume.” The jirospective 
purchaser iii<|uire>. as he surpri.sing- 
ly scans the costume, “How could 
you stand it?’’ “Why,” replies the 
Blue .Mou.-e, innocently, “the stage 
was steam heated.”

CHRISTMAS AMONG THE INDIANS 



Christmas among the Indians is the 
great day of the year, and is usually 
provided tor many moons in advance. 

The Christmas tree, brought to 
Hheir notice by the palefaices, cangi'.'l 
their fancy and tcnlay the Christmas 
tree form.-, the center of nearly all 
the Indian ('’hristmas celebrations. 

With them >the idea of feasting and 
c.onviviality takes an impoutant part, 
and among thg Pima Indians Chnst- 
mas and most of our other ludid.iy.' 
are called “Eating Days.’’ One blind 
Indian explained Christmas as “all 
the sjime Fourth July, w'-iile man get 
heap drunk.” 

Most Indians arc said to c,T,rc little 
for Thank.sgiving, Washington’s birth- 
day, the New Year or any other day 
than (’hristmas. 

The Flathead Indians luave a pecu- 
liar tradition regarding a great and 
good man who came annuig t'lcir fore- 
fathers and i>erformed miracles of 
all kinds, and on leaving them said 
he would return in the fonn of a large 
white cayote. They say he has ap- 
peared at different times, but has 
not Iwcn .seen now for more than 150 
years. 

The Ankara, Gros Ventre and Man- 
dan Indians have a draditi.on of a 
great and good man who i nee lived 
among them. There is nothing in 
their traditions relating to t!;e birth 
or death of Christ, but they take 
great interest in the celebration of 
Christmas. — .American Redman.
